“We look forward to the Java Journey every year and we love how it brings such a diverse crowd of people into our shop that we don’t normally see,” says Willie Weiler of Baked Sweet Coffeehouse & Bakery. “We have so many amazing coffee shops in our area, and it’s so cool that people get to see all of those through the Java Journey.”
Once participants complete their passport, they will turn it in at their last location to receive a specialty decal and entry to win various prizes. This year’s Java Journey will include more prizes than any Journey before. These prizes include a stay at the Londonderry Inn & Estate as well as gift cards and merchandise from all of the participating coffee shops.
“The Java Journey has been a great way for us to build community pride while also supporting the local economy at the same time,” says Visit Lebanon Valley President Jennifer Kuzo. “Over 50% of passports purchased in 2024 were fully completed and returned, resulting in an estimated economic impact of over $100,000!”
